RECORDING SESSIONS
Started late October 2025 in Los Angeles, as confirmed by Mark Graham, head of music preparation at JoAnn Kane Music Service, and continued until January 2026.
According to unconfirmed reports, a 6-hour session took place in October, “mostly slower music,” and a second session in mid/late November focused on the “faster action sequence type music.”
FROM STEVEN SPIELBERG
Spielberg talks Williams’ score on ClassicFM (source):
- “Disclosure Day is probably the most restrained score he has ever written for one of our collaborations – at least until it is not. But until those moments, he holds back in a way that is subtle and beautiful and enriches the experience. It is like he is accompanying the film from slightly behind it, pushing it forward.”
“Scoring is usually the last thing we do and I always say it is the reward for finishing a movie – the reward being getting to listen to a new John Williams score.”
“He’s the maestro of film music today, but he also could hold a candle to the the great composers of the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s. He has done so much for my films, he’s elevated the experience emotionally. If I can make my audience’s eyes wet, Johnny’s score will allow the tears to actually fall.”
Steven Spielberg on how John Williams’ score for Disclosure Day compares to the Close Encounters of the Third Kind score (source):
-
There’s one huge difference between the music of Disclosure Day and Close Encounters -well there’s a lot of differences. The Close Encounters score is almost operatic… But the Close Encounters score leads the film… it’s out in front of the movie. But I wanted John’s music in Disclosure Day to be behind the film, to be underneath the film. To lift the movie, but not too far… but just to be able to guide it, lift it, but not ever get in front of it.”
Steven Spielberg at the London premiere:
- When John saw the movie for the first time, he did something which he’s done a couple of times but not often. He said: “This time, I’m going to write music not to lead the film; I’m going to write music under the film and give it a slight nudge forward, but I’m not going to lead”—like the Indiana Jones and Close Encounters scores lead the film, so symphonic. This is more subtle. But it’s still pure John Williams genious.
From Empire Magazine’s Disclosure Day preview (source):
- Steven Spielberg
It’s late February, and Spielberg is on Disclosure Day’s home stretch. “John Williams did his 30th score for me, which we celebrated a couple of days ago,” he begins. “It was bittersweet to say goodbye to the orchestra because we did many sessions, but Johnny provided such a beautiful score.”
Steven Spielberg on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert:
- During a recent interview on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Spielberg mentioned that when he asked Williams to score the film, the Maestro suggested four other composers, but Spielberg insisted that he wanted him to compose the music for their 30th collaboration.
Spielberg on Disclosure Day‘s Finale:
- According to various sources, Spielberg recently stated that the film concludes in a 20-minute finale that would bring everyone to a united epiphany about what has been happening in the world, what has been kept from us and what we now know.”
